Calories: 398kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 6 links chicken sausage
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 head of broccoli
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- ⅓ cup pesto
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Grated parmesan, optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Cut the red bell pepper, red onion, and sweet potatoes into uniform pieces (about ½ to 1 inch in size). Cut the broccoli into small florets and slice the pre-cooked chicken sausage into ¼-inch rounds.
- Place all of the chopped vegetables and sliced chicken sausage into a large bowl. Add the pesto to the bowl and toss everything together until the veggies and sausage pieces are evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and spread everything out into a single, even layer so it roasts evenly.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and the sausage edges are lightly crisped. Top with optional grated parmesan. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy!
Notes
- Save time/prep ahead: You can chop the sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onion up to 2 days in advance. Store them together in an airtight container in the fridge so all you have to do on a busy weeknight is toss and bake. For a faster route, purchase pre-chopped broccoli florets or pre-cut sweet potato cubes from the grocery store.
- Dietary variations: To keep this recipe completely dairy-free, double check that your chicken sausage brand is dairy-free and swap the standard pesto for a vegan or dairy-free store-bought version. For a vegetarian plate, replace the sausage links with a can of rinsed chickpeas or your favorite plant-based sausage substitute.
